Why fourteen-day US-Iran ceasefire won’t fix global energy crisis

The road back to the $60-70 oil range remains blocked by charred infrastructure, shattered trust, and a fundamental deficit in global supply.

The Right Side of Chaos

It’s hard to separate signal from noise in assessing the Iran war and what it means going forward.

You blinked and missed it.  Israel never agreed despite what press releases said.  Israel wants us to become involved so deep that we have boots on the ground.  At this point, Trump has committed treason for going along with Israel.

There never was a ceasefire, because  Trumpolini simply ignored the provisions of the 10 points he can't accept and claim victory.  He just needed an excuse to TACO from committing Genocide and gain 2 weeks to try and work up a plan that can get the Jarheads through the straight.  That is the tactical problem stopping the invasion idea.  Their first try on this they got hit and were forced to retreat back out into the Indian Ocean.

Any Boots on the Ground attempt will generate horrific losses. so he's currently stymied.  The only plausible military maneuver would be to use tactical nukes to clear the coastline, but that has obvious political problems.

Look for the market to reprice tomorrow.

The War Is Bad. The Cease-Fire Doesn’t Exist. The Future Is Awful.

It took not even 24 hours for the tollbooth on the Strait of Hormuz to snap shut. Israel, whose desires to act as a saboteur and trap the United States into the war it desperately wanted us to conduct couldn’t be more obvious, spent Wednesday pounding central Beirut with airstrikes, hitting 100 targets in ten minutes, with at least 112 dead.

Iran and the U.S. have very different conceptions of whether Lebanon counts as part of the nascent cease-fire. After Donald Trump confirmed that in his view Israel and Lebanon are in a "separate skirmish," which conflicts with the view of Pakistan, the country that mediated the dispute, Iran showed its displeasure by closing the strait to oil tankers, and now the Revolutionary Guard Corps has threatened military action against "aggressors in the region" (Israel) if the Lebanon attacks continue.

Yolanda is a country.  Jules is a country.  And Ringo represents the Fascist States of America.
The first step in this cognitive test, is to correctly identify the countries that Yolanda and Jules represent.  Vincent is Saudi Arabia.  The fat man is the rest of the world.

The question is can Ringo keep Yolanda cool.  He did in the movie.  But that is where the analogy breaks down.  As in the movie, Ringo does not get the briefcase.  Ringo has to settle for the Saudi Sovereign Fund wallets from the other diners in the room.

This is a pretty solid rhyme if you correctly identify the country Jules is playing.

It breaks down only because Ringo can't keep his bitch cool.






Unlike in the movie, Yolanda calls the shots.  That is bad news.

Honey Bunny is a problem.





Regardless the glowing nuclear material in the briefcase does not change hands.

Ringo's mother does not like Yolanda.


And it's a rhyming day.


What fire begets this fire, like torches thrown into the straw?
If no one asks, then no one answers, that's how every empire falls

'Shehbaaz had clearly said...', even after the ceasefire, the attack on Lebanon, Bifra Iran

In the midst of a rapidly changing situation in the Middle East, Iran has made it clear that Lebanon cannot be excluded from any ceasefire agreement with the US. Iran has clearly indicated that any long-term peace deal in the region will be possible only if Lebanon is included in it.

Trump says Israel will be 'scaling back' attacks on Lebanon after appeal to Netanyahu

'I spoke with Bibi and he’s going to low-key it. I just think we have to be sort of a little more low-key,' he says

Low-key means continue and carry-on Donald.  You just told the world how evil you are again.
